      Wendy Ide Screen International An elegant and empathetic portrait of that most vilified of female characters, ‘the other woman’, combining satisfyingly textured character details with a suitably theatrical flourish to arresting effect. Nov 29, 2022 Full Review Cameron Meier Orlando Weekly Dramatic and culturally insightful, but also surprisingly humorous and surreal, the ... film feels slight at times but ultimately sticks with you thanks to Rypp's interesting portrait of a cultural outcast and the relatable performance of Dana Ivgy. Rated: 3.25/5 Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest Rypp’s debut feature is a stunningly empathetic dive inside the feelings of a woman having an affair with a married man at her most vulnerable time. Her story unfolds within the timing and structure of Jewish ritual as she moves into center stage. Rated: 8/10 Jun 8, 2023 Full Review Jason Delgado Film Threat The master craftsmanship of the cast and crew transports us to a different point of view that you can’t take your eyes off of. Rated: 9/10 Mar 14, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
